How to Pair Rosé and Cheese

Rosé and Cheese All Day

I love rosé in the summertime. It’s so refreshing and pairs well with almost anything, especially cheese. The fat and protein in cheese slow the absorption of alcohol, so you can drink more wine. Tart rosé cleanses your palate, so you can eat more cheese.

You can literally rosé all day.

Rosé goes with just about any cheese, so long as you avoid anything too strong or funky. Here are some of my favorite rosé and cheese pairings to get you started.

I prefer rosés that are dry, tart, and/or bubbly. You never need to spend more than $15 on a good rosé. You can’t go wrong with something from Southern France. If you see either “Languedoc” or “Provence” on the label, just buy it.

Goat’s milk makes a great gouda because the milk’s natural sweetness intensifies with age. Paired with rosé, it tastes like strawberries and cream. I also love how the rosy hue by the rind matches the wine.
